An explosion rocked Nalagarh in Solan district, Himachal Pradesh on New Year’s Day, occurring around 9:40 AM near the town’s police station and shattering windows of nearby buildings, but no casualties were reported. Forensic teams and police quickly cordoned off the area, collected samples and began scanning CCTV footage as part of a detailed investigation into the cause and nature of the blast. Authorities have registered a case and coordinated with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Punjab Police. Two pro-Khalistan groups — Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and the Punjab Sovereignty Alliance (PSA) — claimed responsibility, citing grievances over alleged synthetic drug issues, while police continue probing the authenticity and motive behind the claims.
